Website Content Editor, Jenny Mogford said, "We're
delighted to be supporting a local business in this way, especially
one where there's so much enthusiasm and it's evident the team are
working at something they really love.
"We hope to help promote brand awareness

community."

inches longer, 6 inches wider and 4 inches higher than the
original, enabling it to happily house any V8 engine and a
driver as tall as 6ft 7 or 20 stone.

appearance as a proto-type at the National Kit Car Show in Stonleigh
in May 2002
Driver on the launch day was Mike
Swinnerton, Senior Racing Instructor at Silverstone Circuit. Mike
commented, "This car, with it's V8 power, is definitely going
to make a challenging and exciting care to drive. It required
respect, but the 'grin factor' is pretty substantial."
If you want to see the Viento, Luego
Sports Cars would welcome a visit from you, their door is always
open and you will receive a warm welcome.
